The next morning, Mr. Gong tells the audience that he has prepared a new gift for the president. It's a gift from the formula pharmaceutical company to the Dongmen family for their research on stem cells. The dongmen's family doesn't want to get involved in the research on the h-virus vaccine, but they do want to help the formula company in developing new treatments for diseases. The president laughs and says he'll think it over. He's already laughing at the idea of the dowry, and he won't be laughing any more.
